Join Ming Tsai as he and a great group of guest
chefs find inspiration from his East-West pantry and from surprise ingredients
that range from exotic fruits and vegetables to meats and fish. “I want to
bring you into the mind of the chef; we went into the studio and on the road
with no recipes, no thought of what we would be making – using our pantry or
favorite markets as inspiration,” says Ming. “We want to show you how you can
shop in your own pantry and create delicious dinners on the fly.” The DVD has a
running time of 160 minutes.
Ming highlights techniques to help viewers at
home, from filleting a fish to sharing a technique for cooking veggies kids will
love. Together with his friends and family, they share their culinary tricks for
mouthwatering meals in these six great shows:
• Ming and Jacques Pepin demonstrate the classic
technique of “paner à l’anglaise” to make Panko-Crusted Butterfish with
Wasabi-Avocado Crema & Mango Salsa and Paner au
Beurre Turkey with Mushroom “Ratatouille.”
• Andrew Zimmern, host of “Bizarre Foods” on the
Travel Channel, joins Ming to cook two new dishes kids will devour:
Turkey Spring Rolls with Hoisin-Lime
Dipping Sauce and Bacon Brussels Sprouts
and Mixed Vegetables & Tofu with Miso Sabayon.
• Iron Chef Morimoto teaches Sushi 101, as they
create Omusubi with Alaskan King
Crab Salad and
Sashimi Salad—Chirashi Zushi.
• Along with fabulous baker Joanne Chang, Ming
shows how grasping one small but important rule can allow viewers to bake
countless desserts with just a few ingredients in quantities you can eyeball,
including Raspberry-Rhubarb Free
Form Crostata.
• Jonathan Waxman, one of the godfathers of New
American Cuisine, and Ming use the fantastic technique of oven roasting to
create Spicy Oven-Roasted Chicken
Breast with Baby Cauliflower and Potatoes
and
Macadamia Duck with Roasted Vegetables “Waxman” Style.
• Together with his parents, Steven & Iris Tsai,
Ming shows us the perfect culinary marriage of chicken, duck, and wine when they
create Red Roast Duck with Scallion
Pancakes and Coq au Vin.
